Gen: HIPAA and confidentiality in minorsFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Tue Mar 24 19:17:11 2009
In our state, a pregnant woman has the right to make decisions, give consent, etc., regardless of age. For NOT pregnant people, what do you guys suggest?
>From time to time, a mother of a teen patient might call in for a Does it matter if we have the daughter sign a form allowing specific people to be involved in her care? We recently had a run-in with a dissatisfied mother who ultimately left the practice over something like this (I don't know the details). We want to maintain the vital confidentiality that teens need, and we don't want to violate HIPAA. And, perhaps thirdly, we would like to use common sense, i.e. refill the birth control pills for a teen! Suggestions/thoughts? Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
